Have Love, Will Travel

Have Love, Will Travel by squeemonster [author spotlight] AO3 link Rating: NC-17 Word Count: 94,000 Summary: Castiel Novak is a reclusive writer with a childhood so tragic it’s left him terrified to leave his home—until his overbearing brother, Gabriel, drags him out for a night on the town full of booze and strip clubs, and he encounters Dean Winchester, a mesmerizing and mysterious stripper with secrets of his own. Both men find themselves inexplicably drawn to each other, and soon Dean’s private dances for Castiel become much more, as both men confess their troubles and find solace in each other’s company. But neither can seem to find the courage to take their relationship further than the intimacy of the club’s VIP Room—and just when Dean’s own brother gives him the excuse he needs to finally admit his feelings, Dean discovers something that brings it all crumbling down. Will they find a way past their demons and their trust issues, and back to each other? This was a great AU. A good balance of fluff, angst, and holy mother of god the smut. Seriously, read this. I love stories like this where the relationship development is a slow burn. Though, I have to say I think I enjoyed the first half more than the second (probably because of the VIP room scenes). Still great overall. Oh, and Gabriel/Pamela…why don’t I see more of that pairing? In fact, the author did a great job of populating the world with spn characters and having it work really well.
